For once Apple isn't be Jews over the price.

:D

[Linktopast]

Damn it, how long has it been since the 3GS was released?

[Yrtnej]

I'm a huge Windows fanboy, and Apple has realeased something I actually like. Way to go, Apple.

[Sekhem]

well i had to get rid of my 3gs because it was a piece of shit but definitely getting this

[SadisticAI]

I like how it's only $199.

And how they are bumping the 3gs down to $99.

[Narusegawa]

A step away from traditional Apple ideas in their product, way to go! It's kinda funny though ..

"makes the dream of video calling a reality" - I had video calling on my phone five - six years ago.

"features a 5 megapixel camera" - With a small lens too, yawn.

"HD video recording" - Had it in my phone for a year.

..but it's a step in the right direction, great!

the Iphones fucking suck its got like a 46% drop rate here on the East Coast. plus it doesn't have FLASH.

[AsthmaticHamster]

Yeah, I think I'm finally ready to switch to an iPhone :D
I just hope the Canadians providers won't be jews like they are now, with the overpriced fees...

[Tony-DarkGrave]

I would never buy a Iphone Ihave a droid which is just as good plus they don't censor apps.

[The-universe]

That article says it's got a 5mp camera with flash and records in 720p.

Not wanting to be sarcastic, but OMG it's only taken them years to finally hear the complaints! What would be the point of having a camera on a smartphone if it's going to be terrible? I'd rather not have it.

It's $199 for the 16gb, $299 for the 32gb. Why not just give it 16gb with expandable SD and they could have up to 40gb? Like (at the minimum) samsung and nokia have already done.

It's got the Ipad's 1ghz processor, so they're still pinching samsung's hardware? Why can't they build their own? But HTC beat them to the punch.

The rest is interesting, but we'll have to wait and see when it's released.

No mention of multitasking of third part apps. But be hopeful.

If you look at the presentation video, it clearly shows the user using Mail, Photo (I think) and Tap Tap revolution at the same time. So that's a yes.

That's a pre-release model. I also didn't spell party right. So yes, it does answer my question but not about third parties because I don't think any of the ones you listed are.

But like someone else said, at least it's in the right direction.

[Megafones]

I haven't really looked into it, but I know enough about iPhones to know that I think I'm about due one. Convenient that my mum washed my old phone in my jeans a few days ago.

Isn't Tapulous a third party dev?

Because they covered that pretty thoroughly on the last keynote- about iPhone OS 4.

Maybe. I thought it was just a subdivision of Apple since it only makes Iphone apps.

Apparently not.

[Tony-DarkGrave]

ipphone fucking sucks its with that shit service ATT and there going to get rd of unlimited data plan so they make more money and they have been known to censor good apps, plus it has a 46% drop rate.

[TylerDurden121]

And the masses will eat this shit right up.

[JaY11]

Holy shit guys, not only is there glass on the front, but also on the back! STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES!

Also check out the like/dislike difference, lol.

[HighWay]

Hmm, this may be a motivation for me to save up money so i can get it :3

There's probably a reasonable (as well as luxurious perhaps?) explanation. Previous iphones had aluminum on the back which led to wifi problems, and the next gen ones had plastic backs which get scratched very easily

[Barrelsfox]

I don't really like Apple they always release old things with new features.

[PeterM]

I'm getting a 3GS on Wednesday cause prices are dropping and iPhones 4 will be horrendously overpriced in the UK.

You are getting confused. Amount of megapixels does not relate to image quality. We simply do not have the technology to affordably put a good image censor in such a small device. There is no such thing as a good phone camera and there won't be for years.

[UnknownFear]

My contract doesn't end for another 2 and a half years and I was thinking about trying out an Android phone, but this iPhone 4 really does looks cool. Who knows, in two more years, there could be an iPhone 6.

[Warforger]

So first they release a bigger IPhone and now they're going to release a new IPhone which has all new materials? My god the whole organization must just be paid to goof off all day if this is the best idea they can come up woth.

For years? Camera's are starting to get TV style HD quality, it would probably be a year or so before it shrinks to the phone.

Unfortunately again, the amount of pixels does not equal quality. Sure, phones can record "high definition" in terms of image size, but the quality is still shit.

[Yrtnej]

I might actually buy the iTouch HD, but I'm not going to buy a phone and not use the phone part of it.
